Over at the Hopeless Gamer, they’re doing yeoman’s work reporting on Fantasy Flight Game’s upcoming Battles of Westeros, a tactical combat game loosely based on the venerable BattleLore system.

This month, they’ve posted two write-ups of what it was like to play the Stark and Lannister sides in a scenario, revealing some of the mechanics of the system, and some discussion regarding various other details of the game. They’ll be posting an in-depth interview with designer Rob Kouba in the near future, which we suspect will make for interesting reading.
